The digitalized version of the writer-director picture by German helmer Carl Junghans – shot in Prague with the financial and artistic support of Czech filmmakers – depicts the tragic tale of an aging, worn-out laundress and her brutal, profligate husband. As a psychological drama with social motifs and a highly developed cinematic language, the work represents the pinnacle of silent era moviemaking. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
